He gave me a few old magazines from shooting times an American rifleman. I find the advertisements more interesting than the articles. Montana seems to me to be what a small boy would think Texas is, listening to Texans..John Steinbeck

In the 1960’s I particularly used to enjoy Ye Olde Hunter’s adverts for surplus rifles in Guns magazine. Remington Rolling Blocks $9.95 - “you can’t buy prime hamburger at this price!” Sadly now true of 12 bore BLNE guns at auction in this side of the pond.

The Malcolm scope appears to be off-set to the left, like most British sniping scopes during the First World War. This Parker-Hale “Easifix” mount shown in their inter-War catalogue being one of the exceptions. The scope is a Winchester A5, some of which can still be found with British Government markings.

The 250 page history of Reilly was written in part by reviewing and compiling 5,000 advertisements stretching from 1828 to 1912. Last edited by Argo44; 05/31/26 10:52 AM.

May God bless America and those who defend her.
